AOM Alert Operations Bulletin (AOB) No. 23 regarding “Ruptured de- ice boots”

implemented in AFM.

General information from AOB:

There has been reported events with ruptured de- ice boots on the horizontal tail. Recently

an event with a ruptured de- ice boot resulted in slight vibrations starting at a speed of

approximately 220 KIAS, with a gradual increase in vibrations with decreasing speed.

With flap 15 selected, a further increase in vibrations was noted. Selection of flap 20

resulted in a repetitive nose down pitch every 3 to 4 seconds together with rumbling and

shaking of the flight controls.

The nose down pitch was counteracted by pilot input and a go- around was initiated. The

aircraft made a flap- less (flap 0) landing with only slight vibrations felt in the flight controls.

The following recommendation from AOB added in Abnormal Procedure:

Should a TIMER master caution together with the STAB light not illuminating - indicating

a faulty STAB boot system - be experienced during flight, the landing shall be performed

as a flap 0 landing.

4- 6 000 Page shift.

6- 2.11 000 A parenthesis added to clarify that the demonstrated crosswind values include gust.

SYSTEMS (cont’d)

Vertical Navigation

The vertical guidance mode of the VNI 80 A, if installed, is not certified for use as a primary source for vertical

navigation.

Cargo Fire

The cargo compartment is classified as a Class C cargo compartment and has been demonstrated to provide

the following minimum fire protection duration, based on cargo compartment configuration and fire protection

system installation:

− 70 min for aircraft with lavatory aft and Mod. No. 1149 incorporated (2 bottles)

− 60 min for aircraft with lavatory forward and Mod. No.1149 incorporated (2 bottles)

− 35 min for all other aircraft.

Attitude/Heading Reference System

During initialization on ground the aircraft must not be moved.

Take−off is not permitted:

− until 2 minutes after initialization is completed

− if attitude difference between the attitude displayed on both EFIS EADIs and the standby attitude indicator is

3 degrees or more (bank and pitch)

− if the heading on the compass card is slewing away from the aircraft heading.

Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)

Navigation is not to be predicated on the use of the Terrain (or Obstacle) Awareness Display.

RUDDER LIMITER LIGHT ON

Reduce speed until light goes out but not below 140 kts. If light still is ON at 140 kts, select the rudder limiter

switch to OVERRIDE. Max speed with the rudder limiter in OVERRIDE is 180 KIAS. Avoid large rudder deflections above 150 KIAS. If rudder limiter light is on below 140 KIAS, use if possible a runway with less than 10 kts

crosswind for landing.

HYDRAULIC WARNING

Switch off the hydraulic pump.

− If both emergency and main pressures are low, extend the landing gear and land at the nearest suitable

airport. Leave flaps in present position; use hand pump if brake pressure needs to be restored.

WITH MOD No. 1463 installed:

− If only emergency pressure is low, use hand pump for landing gear, flap and brake operation.

− If only main pressure is low, set the hydraulic pump to OVERRIDE; if main pressure increases, switch

between OVERRIDE and OFF so as to maintain pressure. If there is no increase in pressure during

override, switch off the pump and use hand pump for landing gear, flap and brake operation.

− If main pressure and hydraulic quantity are low, pull emergency landing gear handle for gear extension.

Leave flaps in present position and use hand pump if brake pressure needs to be restored.

− If all pressures are normal, use hand pump for landing gear, flap and brake operation.

WITHOUT MOD No. 1463 installed:

− If only emergency pressure is low, extend the landing gear and land at the nearest suitable airport.

Leave flaps in present position; use hand pump if brake pressure needs to be restored.

AC GENERATOR FAULT

Try to reset the generator once. If it will not reset, place the generator switch in OFF/R position and, if possible,

exit icing conditions.

ICE PROTECTION SYSTEM FAULT

Reset affected switch once. If the airframe or powerplant de−icing/anti−icing system is not restored, exit the

icing conditions if possible.

During landing with iced−up or inflated de−ice boots, use the following flap settings and speeds:

With Mod. No. 1462 installed: Without Mod. No. 1462 installed or 

 with Mod. Nos. 1462 and 1793 

 installed:

Wing fault: Flaps 20 and VREF20+10 KIAS Flaps 20 and VREF20+10 KIAS

or Flaps 35 and VREF35 + 10 KIAS

Stabilizer fault, or

Wing and

stabilizer fault: Flaps 20 and VREF20 + 10 KIAS Flaps 0 and VREF20 + 30 KIAS

During landing with Master Caution (ICE PROT) and TIMER light illuminated and green STAB light not

illuminating, use the following flap settings and speeds (required by AD) :

With Mod. No. 1462 installed: Without Mod. No. 1462 installed or 

 with Mod. Nos. 1462 and 1793 

 installed:

Flaps 0 and VREF20 + 30 KIAS Flaps 0 and VREF20 + 30 KIAS

ALTERNATE EXTENSION OF LANDING GEAR

(WITH MOD No. 1463 INSTALLED)

Select landing gear down and use the hand pump to extend the landing gear. Hand pump selector must be set

to LDG GR position.

If an emergency extension has to be made, pull the emergency landing gear handle, then set landing gear

handle to DOWN.

ANTI−SKID INOPERATIVE

CAUTION

Use of wheel brakes above 40 knots without anti−skid will likely result in flat tire(s).

Avoid braking until speed has decreased to 40 knots (on long runways, use reverse thrust as far as possible to

avoid braking). Review landing performance, as the delayed use of brakes increases the landing distance as

for a ”very low friction runway” (aircraft braking  0.05).

SINGLE ENGINE LANDING

Use Flaps 20 and VREF20 + 10 KIAS. Switch off the bleed system on approach.

OIL BYPASS

If engine oil pressure is within limits, continue normal operation monitoring oil pressure.

CHIP INDICATION

Reduce power and monitor engine instruments. If engine parameters deviate from normal, consider shutting

down the engine.

UNCOMMANDED ENGINE OPERATION

NOTE

Small TRQ indicator fluctuations (max 3%) in the form of oscillations or minor movements repeatedly

are acceptable if the fluctuations disappear after a Power Lever (Ng) or Condition Lever (Np) adjustment.

Larger or uncontrollable fluctuations are to be considered as uncommanded engine operation, to be handled

as below.

Uncommanded engine operation may be caused by sensor failure, electrical control failure or mechanical failure.

The failure may create actual variations in power (increase and/or decrease in TRQ, ITT, Ng, PRPM and

Fuel Flow).

The failure may also be indicated on the cockpit indicators only, without any actual variations in power.

Uncommanded engine operation may affect aircraft controllability both in the air and on the ground e.g. during

takeoff or during landing, depending on the cause of the condition.

In all cases of an UNCOMMANDED ENGINE OPERATION the Torque Motor must be locked out immediately and the Autocoarsen System set to OFF.

If actual power variations continue after the Torque Motor has been locked out, consider shutdown of the

affected engine.

ENGINE TRQ AND/OR TEMP OVER LIMIT

Reduce power. If engine does not respond, shut down the engine.

PROP RPM OVER LIMIT

Set the propeller sync switch to OFF and retard the condition lever. If the propeller does not respond, shut

down the engine.

AUTOCOARSEN FAULT

Set the autocoarsen switch to OFF. Use a minimum VREF of 111 KIAS.

NOTE

This procedure does not preclude dispatch in accordance with the MMEL.

PROPELLER BRAKE (if installed)

If hydraulic warning light comes on with the propeller brake engaged, shut down the engine.
